In The Viral Storm, award-winning biologist Nathan
Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have
evolved side by side through history; how deadly viruses
like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu almost wiped us out in the
past; and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to
the threat of a global pandemic. He takes readers along on
his groundbreaking and often dangerous research trips to
reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases
and to explain the role that viruses have played in human
evolution. In a world where each new outbreak seems
worse than the one before, Wolfe points the way forward, as
new technologies are brought to bear to neutralize these
viruses and even harness their power for the good of
humanity. His provocative vision of the future will change
the way we think about viruses, and perhaps remove a
potential threat to humanity's survival.
